Hi !
This is a newb question. I've found it hard to phrase appropriate queries about it for web / usenet searches and hope someone can set me straight.
I want to create an action on bootup that starts our site search engine. They tell you how to get it running as a daemon from the shell and I am stuck on how to get this to happen everytime the machine boots.
--> If the daemon does not need anything else to be up (like network), you can put the commands into /etc/init.d/boot.local If it needs the network or any other services, you have to create a script in /etc/init.d Take /etc/init.d/sshd as example and create your own script "mystart.local" (you can choose whatever name you like). The commands for starting need to be in the "start" branch of the case-statement. Run "insserv mystart.local" as root to include it in the start-up order. Commands to stop the daemon can be put into "halt.local" or into the "stop" branch of the case-statement in "mystart.local".
